Setup IIS 7 as FTP Server that is connectable outside of my local network
- by Usta
I was able to setup an FTP site that I was able to access via ftp://127.0.0.1/ or my local(static) ip. To do this I followed these instructions (with the exception that I did not bind to 127.0.0.1 as suggested) http://learn.iis.net/page.aspx/301/creating-a-new-ftp-site-in-iis-7/ I have created a firewall exception for port 20 and 21, and setup port-forwarding on my wireless router. But I can only access the site via local-host, and I need to have a friend have read access to it.
So how do I enable remote access to it? (I'd rather not purchase a domain-name)
My setup: IIS 7.5 Windows 7 Professional Wireless Network Norton Internet Security 2012 An Internal Static IP Address
